Top Republicans doubt the whistleblower whose complaint prompted impeachment proceedings is truly willing to be questioned by both parties, despite the whistleblower’s attorney announcing an offer to do so on Sunday morning.
Mark Zaid, the whistleblower’s attorney, announced that he had contacted
Democratic California Rep. Devin Nunes to notify him that the whistleblower would accept written questions from Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee.

Zaid told CBS on Saturday night that his client wants to be as bipartisan as possible throughout this process while remaining anonymous. The attorney noted that accepting written questions will allow the whistleblower to protect his or her identity from Republicans, who have asked that the whistleblower be identified.
